C1. Preliminary rounds.
In the preliminary round the players have to be ready AT LEAST 15 minutes before
the game is scheduled to start. If one of the players has not showed up within 10 minutes
after the game is scheduled he will lose on walkover. The winner must then report
this on partyticket.net
If you are having difficulties with power/network before you game is about
to start you have to tell this to the game crew right away, and then get someone from tech to help you with this.
C2. Finals and Semi-finals
If a player feels sick he HAS TO talk to one from the game crew before he can
leave.
If this happens the game crew will decide how to deal with the problem and the judgement is not negotiable.
The finals from the looser brackets and winner brackets will be played on the official server computers in the game-area. You can bring your own keyboard, mouse and headphones but nothing else.
D. Disconnect
-------------
If a player disconnects in the first 1-5 minutes of a preliminary game caused
by cause of the network going down on his/her row or the power goes out, the game will automatically be a rematch, come and talk to the game crew immediately if this occurs.
If a player disconnect in the middle/end of a game of a preliminary round caused by the network going down or the power goes out, he/she has to talk to the game crew and we will decide how to deal with it. The decision is final and non-negotiable.
E. Various rules
----------------
Late pick of races is completely legal, if the other player leaves the game
because of this he/she looses the game.
If both players agree on choosing random race and one of them does not do this, it is NO EXCUSE to leave the game and the person not complying will lose the game/round.
If your mouse/keyboard stops working, put the game on PAUSE immediately
(on keyboard: f10 -> p, on mouse: options -> pause game)
